.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions initialise an
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
structure for subsequent use by
.Xr X509_verify_cert 3 .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_new
returns a newly initialised
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
structure.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup
internally cleans up an
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
structure.
The context can then be reused with a new call to
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_init .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_free
completely frees up
.Fa ctx .
After this call
.Fa ctx
is no longer valid.
If
.Fa ctx
is a
.Dv NULL
pointer, no action occurs.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_init
sets up
.Fa ctx
for a subsequent verification operation.
The trusted certificate store is set to
.Fa store ,
the end entity certificate to be verified is set to
.Fa x509
and a set of additional certificates (which will be untrusted but may be
used to build the chain) in
.Fa chain .
Any or all of the
.Fa store ,
.Fa x509 ,
and
.Fa chain
parameters can be
.Dv NULL .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_store
returns an internal pointer to the trusted certificate
.Fa store
that was set with
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_init .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack
sets the set of trusted certificates of
.Fa ctx
to
.Fa sk .
This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates instead of
using an
.Vt X509_STORE .
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack
is a deprecated alias for
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert
sets the certificate to be verified in
.Fa ctx
to
.Fa x .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set_chain
sets the additional certificate chain used by
.Fa ctx
to
.Fa sk .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls
sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate verification to
.Fa sk .
These CRLs will only be used if CRL verification is enabled in the
associated
.Vt X509_VERIFY_PARAM
structure.
This might be used where additional "useful" CRLs are supplied as part
of a protocol, for example in a PKCS#7 structure.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set_flags
sets the internal verification parameter flags to
.Fa flags .
See
.Xr X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags 3
for a description of the verification flags.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param
retrieves an internal pointer to the verification parameters associated
with
.Fa ctx .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param
sets the internal verification parameter pointer to
.Fa param .
After this call
.Fa param
should not be used.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set_default
looks up and sets the default verification method to
.Fa name .
This uses the function
.Xr X509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup 3
to find an appropriate set of parameters from
.Fa name .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted
retrieves an internal pointer
to the stack of untrusted certificates associated with
.Fa ctx .
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set0_untrusted
sets the internal pointer
to the stack of untrusted certificates associated with
.Fa ctx
to
.Fa sk .
.Pp
The certificates and CRLs in a store are used internally and should
.Sy not
be freed up until after the associated
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
is freed.
Legacy applications might implicitly use an
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
like this:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
X509_STORE_CTX ctx;
X509_STORE_CTX_init(&ctx, store, cert, chain);
.Ed
.Pp
This is
.Sy not
recommended in new applications.
They should instead do:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
X509_STORE_CTX *ctx;
ctx = X509_STORE_CTX_new();
if (ctx == NULL)
	/* Bad error */
X509_STORE_CTX_init(ctx, store, cert, chain);
.Ed
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_new
returns a newly allocated context or
.Dv NULL
if an error occurred.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_init
returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_store
returns a pointer to the trusted certificate store or
.Dv NULL
if
.Fa ctx
was not initialised.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param
returns a pointer to an
.Vt X509_VERIFY_PARAM
structure or
.Dv NULL
if an error occurred.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_set_default
returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
.Pp
.Fn X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted
returns an internal pointer.

.Sh BUGS
The certificates and CRLs in a context are used internally and should
.Sy not
be freed up until after the associated
.Vt X509_STORE_CTX
is freed.
Copies should be made or reference counts increased instead.
